Description

A lot of experienced gardeners swear by this one. Large ears with sparkling white kernels always seem to taste just right--fresh, crisp and sweet.

When and Where to Plant: Select a sunny location and plant after last frost. Soil should be fertilized with vegetable food and cultivated. To insure good pollination sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side rather than one long row. For succession, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.
Care: Cultivate weekly or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize when plants are 12-18"/30-46 cm. tall.
Harvesting: Pick when silks turn brown and ears are firm. Test by piercing a few kernels with thumbnail. The skin should be tender and the juice should look “milky”. To get the best taste, pick, cook, and eat the same day.
